Deadlines June 2014


You know the drill.

18th June – New NEWS: Note the corrected date on this call-out “New Necklaces: 500+ Designs from Around the World – image request for a book edited by Nicolas Estrada. Due 20th July 2014.”

Sorry if I scared you with the 20th of June date I had posted earlier (if it’s any consolation, I scared me too…). But hey, now you can use that extra time to make more work/get better photos/teach yourself to knit.
